Quite a few famous people died in 2022, although clearly quite a few famous people die every year! It just feels to those of us who remain that somehow the pendulum is swinging ever closer and closer!
Anyway, I thought I'd capture a list of the people whose obituaries caught my eye this year, people whose work I was a fan of or that, for me, had some other notable characteristic or achievement.
My tribute list (not exhaustive) goes as follows,
- Shane Warne - That ball to Graham Gooch, what more can we say?
- Robbie Coltrane - Hagrid!
- Meatloaf - That album cover, epic!
- Christine McVie - Best female song writer ever?
- Ray Liotta - Goodfellas, awesome.
- James Caan - The Godfather of course, but also Elf!
- Denis Waterman - Who didn't love The Sweeny and Minder?
- Leslie Phillips - Ding, dong!
- Nichelle Nichols - Star trek original, never bettered
- Queen Elizabeth II - A decent innings
- Vangelis - Chariots of fire, nuff said.
- Mikhail Gorbachev - Changed the world for the better.
- Barry Cryer - King of the one-liners
- Jet Black - No more hero's
